The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

On Going Fantasy project for Cartographer/Cartographers

Hello this is the first time here and I am looking for either one cartographer or two for an ongoing project, starting with world map, continent maps, village/city maps and dungeons. I have look through all members and have made a list of cartographers that I think have the skills to give my project the professional look that it requires. If you are interest and have the capability to design detail maps please answer, payment will be discussed on each cartographer's ability and suitability to the project. All maps will become the property of my business, and once that map/s have been published then co-copyright will be given to the cartographer to use with permission of the business as long as it does not harm the image of the business. I know there is not a lot to go on in this thread, all cartographers that answer and ask for more information will receive an outline of the full project and time frame, at the moment it is looking at five to six years of mapping.

Thank you for your time and look forward to your correspondence in the future.

Hi! I might be interested in this. Please take a look at my portfolio in the link in my signature, and if you like my work, send the info to the e-mail address you'll find there and then we can discuss more. Thanks!
